A Pegasus for the Rest of Us

Once upon a time, Frank Costanza looked around, saw some people fighting over a doll in a toy store, and came up with the idea of Festivus, a substitute for Christmas that featured such things as the airing of grievances, feats of strength and a pole instead of a tree.

Once upon a time, another fellow named Frank looked around, saw the need for a major event post-Breeder’s Cup and pre-Triple Crown, and came up with the idea of the Pegasus World Cup. The Pegasus was a $12 million race where a dozen stakeholders would foot the bill and fans would be charged up to $775 for a ringside seat.

Once upon a time, 63 million geographically-correct Americans looked around, saw a crumbling country, and voted Donald Trump into the White House.

One of these things had us absolutely rolling on the floor; another has come to fruition and will be run on January 28 at Gulfstream Park; and the other is from an episode of “Seinfeld”.
